We will use this page for the Lit Review Assignment. Post any questions that we might have regarding the Lit Review assignment.

I have attached the file that has my answers to the Library Research Questions. I worked on three questions, two of which I did not finish. I highlighted the answer spaces in yellow.
Thanks Maggie


Please find the edited word doc. I added the information for question #1, and finished #3. #4b, and #4c need to be finished, as well as #5. I am unsure how Shannon is fairing, so if we do not hear from her, anyone of us can pick it up. Let me know if you have any difficulty opening up and editing this document. Thanks, -Dawn

Assignment 1: Part A - Library Research document update by S Flynn. I combined the two files that were previously
uploaded above, made a couple of edits (look for my notes in red), and added the answer for #5. I kept the .doc format
so Dawn will be able to open it. Please comment as appropriate. Also, I suggest we stop editing the home page and use this page as originally intended -Shannon 9/24/11



Actually, I think we can shorten the ebook citation because we are just citing the book, not citing a quote from the book. I found the following example in the library module that was given, by Dr. Bai, for us to review. It looks like we do need the website URL:
Ebooks
Electronic /eBooks of print book
Thorne, K. (2007). Essential creativity in the classroom: Inspiring kids. Retrieved from http://www.netlibrary.com


What do you think? -Shannon

I looked online at the apa owl website from purdue. There are two ways of siting an ebooks.

Murnane, J. & Willet, J. (2011). Methods matter: Improving casual inference in educational research. Retrieved from EBSCOhost.
or
Murnane, J. & Willet, J. (2011). Methods matter: Improving casual inference in educational research. Available from EBSCOhost.

The use of available from is if the book must be purchased or directly available online. - Maggie

Shannon 3c was a direct quote taken from the article. -Maggie

I think we should change the 3c direct quote to our own words and I like the "available from" version of the citation.
-Shannon

Hi, I just wanted to let you know I copied and pasted the APA citation directly from the Library page (for #1). -Dawn

For 3c -The goal of the study was to see what effect mood plays with a persons reading comprehension. -Maggie
09/30/11 Below is my most updated version of the file for PS1 a. Dawn, there is a note, in red, regarding the citation (please let me know your opinion); Maggie, I updated the answer to 3c with your words in place of the quotation; Dorcas, I incorporated your answers into the file. I think this part of PS1 is finished as soon as we decide on the correct citation for #1. Group: Please review the file and either make appropriate changes or let me know what needs to be changed. How is the review of the article going for Part b.? I have started and will do more today and tomorrow and will post my review asap. -Shannon

Thanks Shannon. I am still working on part b and hope to have my answers upload soon. -Maggie10/1/11
